It is indeed exquisite.There is nothing more beautiful than a BIG beautiful Bible that has been hand crafted with love, skill, and great care. This is King James Bible is BEAUTIFUL. Crisp and sharp details. Each page was computer-scanned from the original, and printed on heavy cream paper. The period binding finishes this master piece.

The typeface of the original King James Bible builds on the earlier Authorized Versions for the Church of England. We believe that the punch cutter for the blackletter typeface was Dutch. That same typeface was used in the Great Bible of Henry VIII, the Bishop's Bible under Queen Elizabeth, and the King James Bible.Contains the full prefatory content: The Dedication to King James, the translator's To The Reader Preface, the Calendar, the Holy Land Map, the Genealogy, and of course the entire Old Testament, Inter-Testamental Books (as specifically mandated by King James), and New Testament. This bible is exactly as it was published in 1611. It's the real thing as authorized by King James and appointed to be read in the churches. If you are looking for the real thing, go back to the original, and invest in a real bible in a real period binding in genuine leather.
